Some of
the residents of the Wellington "bicycle repair shop" raided
by police are claiming dismay surprise that a group of
harmless pacifists and bicycle mechanics are being subjected
to state repression. One of these, [name deleted], has
written that peaceful protest is futile. He was involved
with Multicultural Aotearoa, which The Dominion Post spent
several months in 2004 praising and advertising as virtuous
and noble. The efforts of that culminated in a riot.

The
omnipresent [organisation name deleted] is part of the same
coterie of bicycle mechanics, and is generously provided a
web page on the website of the Wellington City Council, as a
"human rights" organisation.

When not serving as a
bicycle repair shop the Wellington house is the headquarters
of the Wildcat Anarchist Alliance, which provides the
nucleus for a myriad of fronts and ad hoc groups such as the
two named. One of their stalwarts wrote to a newspaper about
a year ago that violence for political ends is justifiable,
and several years ago to show his revolutionary zeal
threatened to "arrange" for my wife to "beaten up".
Hopefully The Dominion Post will be a bit more circumspect
in supporting these cycle repairers in future when they don
one of their "anti-racist", "anti-fascist", or
pseudo-pacifist caps.

Terrorist in NZ?

We are all
surprised by the recent police raids on Maori and "peace
activists" around NZ.

This is concerning for NZ for a
number of reasons.

Firstly, it shows that Maori Radicals
are actually getting ready to attack the NZ system, and the
fact they are getting support from so many protest orgs
shows the climate of NZ is getting worse - people are moving
to a new level of readiness for internal warfare. With only
800 soldiers ready to go in NZ, we as a nation are not ready
to defend against a concentrated attack from terror
orgs.

The fact they had Molitov cocktails ready to use,
they were preparing to attack something. These are not
weapons one makes to sit around, they were either ready to
be practiced with, or they were ready to use. The fuel in
them will dissolve if it is left sitting around for too
long.

There is a threat from Anarchist and Maori radical
groups. The anarchists who say they are peaceful are liars.
They burn flags and get in peoples faces, they are so sure
of themselves being right, that they feel they are justified
in their cowardly types of violence (threatening women and
families and putting up hateful websites about people they
dislike).

I have seen the their hate and violence
first-hand. They are liars, and will follow mob mentality at
a moments notice.

We as a Nation need to watch now for
what will come of this. These actions from the police will
encourage more anti-Gov orgs to prepare for civil war. This
is a real fact, reaction and counter reaction, its push and
shove type stuff. You push me I shove you. We are only
months or maybe a couple of years away from bombs and
assignations.

The things that scare me the most is now the
police will attack all protest movements and treat them like
terrorists. It will remove more of our rights and piss off
your average NZer who may be a bit anti-Gov, and now awakes
to a police state.

I like to have my say and to do as I
wish, I will not stand by and let the reds and anarchists
attack our country, but at the same time cannot support the
police in their actions.

There needs to be a better way to
sort this out. If I was the Gov, I would seriously be
looking at why NZers are now ready to take up arms! Its
their bad Management and the suffering of those who feel
they are not herd who will fight. The numbers of these
people are growing as the numbers of those who give up on
voting grow.
